However, when he was in The Shadows (50's & 60's) it was cutting edge stuff. Hank Marvin was an iconic guitarist.

Come now Marty. I'm only 41, not even a mom, much less a granny, & I think Sir Cliff is totally hot. What's more is he has been hot since 1958 & that's a whole lotta hot. Even if he is 66, I'd do him & he's the only man of that age I'd consider.
Guys, u do know him. Remember Xanadu(ooh-ooh)? Ok bad memory but hey, ELO was involved too, so Cliff isn't totally to blame.
"We Don't Talk Anymore" which charted at #7 in 79 in the US & "Carrie" are real classics by Sir Cliff IMHO. He deserves credit for charting continually (albeit only in the UK charts) for 58 freaking years. He's done numbers w/Janet Jackson, Sarah Brightman, Olivia Newton-John, Phil Everly, Van Morrison & Elton John (another Sir) to name a few.
